Final Examination – Dissertation Defense

Congratulations to Peter Hsu, who defended his doctoral thesis, “Structural and biochemical studies of the transcription termination machinery,” on November 22, 2013.
As a student in research group of Professor Gabriele Varani, Peter characterized a number of proteins governing messenger RNA transcription termination in eukaryotic cells, using a combination of biochemistry, X-ray crystallography, and spectroscopic methods. In January, Peter will be moving to the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Washington to conduct postdoctoral research with Associate Professor Ning Zheng.
